Pretty sure they all know about this place and do think we are beneath them. I found all of them, except for the aforementioned Ham.. to be cool posters. There's a whole lot of residual JI bitterness that seems to have lingered and I guess this site, as un-JI like as it is..is associated with it?

I can understand why some wont post here, you need your Big Boy Pants on for a start, but that has to be better than the thought police shutting down every controversial opinion you have.

I've posted here at various times since JI died because of the people here, the ex-Hampurites, the guys I hold in fond memory and respect. Guys like Jetworks.

I never posted here because of football. I only ever visited the Hampur section. I think I have what, like 5 posts in the actual football section and none anywhere else. It was always the Hampur here, the PEOPLE here I missed.

No offense, if I want football talk, it's just alot better at JN. If this site existed for football and I didn't know any of you or have fond JI memories of you all.....I'd not spend a second here. Sorry.

As to Max's limits of some topics keep the focus on football, and I think thats the right choice for JN......despite my occasional attempt to push that boundary, lol. Crusher for example is as good a dude as you could possibly want as a Mod (comparing him to Ham? Lol!) but he's does what a good Mod does, he's non confrontational, doesn't get bogged down in personal shit, and he follows the site owners rules. So some topics get locked, we all get it it, we all move on. JN really isn't about the good bants.

As for me, I stopped posting here (but I still read the Hampur section it on and off pretty regularly) around the time Stokes came back from the nethers. He and me, yeah, just not people who would associate in any realm I think. His return quickly devolved into me not enjoying the "good bants" here anymore. Same goes for Shakin. The bants weren't good bants, they felt like shitty bitter not-so-veiled dislike bants, and no one needs shitty bants in their lives. And I think I was taking the bants too seriously so it was time to go. Plus I get more than enough of that on the one non-Jets forum I partake of regularly, lol.

So I ditched out. Honestly, I wasn't missed, so I think it's all good! Lets be honest, I was always barely-fringe Hampur Crew anyway I think. So today I waste my hours obsessing at JN over the Jets, like JI back in the day, and spend little to no time at JN on making friends, telling/reading funny stories or all the great hampur-style off-topic fun posting of days long past.

As I said to Jetworks a little while back, I have nothing but respect for what you guys did here after JI died. You kept the folks together, and that's damn admirable. But I think if this place were to go away, I'd love to see you all on JN, but I think many of you would find it far too limiting and not enjoy it. So yeah, a longwinded, overly serious post in a thread almost assuredly not intended for any kind of serious talk of any kind, but hey, that's why no one missed Warfish anyway amiright? Lol!
